We were asked to assist an emergency salvage operation this week, when a powerboat got into difficulty near Sandbanks. The Vintage powerboat Apache 555, built in 1969, was competing in the “Poole Bay 100” when a suspected debris strike caused a large hole in the boat’s hull and it started taking on water fast.

Our dredging team have been working for Newhaven Marina to complete a significant capital dredge of the marina, helping to unlock its future potential. This has been coordinated with work from other contractors involved in reconfiguring the pontoon and pile layout within the marina.

We are thrilled to continue our involvement with the Solent Seascape Project to restore a wealth of diverse marine species and habitats back to the Solent. And this spring we are creating another oyster reef – this time in Chichester harbour.
